[1st Flush] Premium Grade

Description

1st Flush Premium Grade is a finely milled green tea powder crafted from carefully selected first-harvest Yabukita tea leaves grown in Yame, Japan. As Japan’s most widely cultivated and respected tea cultivar, Yabukita is celebrated for its exceptional balance of umami, sweetness, freshness, and aroma.

Harvested during the first flush of the season, these young tea leaves deliver a vibrant and refined flavor profile. Rich umami is complemented by gentle natural sweetness and a refreshing aroma, while bitterness and astringency remain pleasantly balanced. The result is a smooth and approachable tea that showcases the classic character of high-quality Japanese green tea.

Its well-rounded flavor and clean finish make it suitable for both traditional tea preparation and modern beverage applications. Whether enjoyed daily or served in a specialty tea setting, 1st Flush Premium Grade offers an authentic expression of Yame-grown Yabukita.

Carefully produced without additives, this tea highlights the purity, consistency, and craftsmanship that have made Yabukita the benchmark cultivar of Japanese tea.
